12 | <h2>Operational computer history</h2> |
---|
13 | <ul> |
---|
14 | <li>Almost all exhibits in our museum are restored and fully functional: |
---|
15 | They can be turned on and take the user back to a time of |
---|
16 | oil, mechanics, shaky buttons and glowing bulbs. |
---|
17 | <li>This is very different to popular computer history and science |
---|
18 | museums. The operation of our devices are always demonstrated |
---|
19 | during the guided tours. Visitors |
---|
20 | get a completely different impression of the circumstances of |
---|
21 | that time. Most likely, this is unique worldwide. |
---|
22 | <li>We concentrate on the first devices which were called "computers", |
---|
23 | i.e. a time span of roughly 1880 until 1970. We do not cover |
---|
24 | personal computers (late 1970s and beyond) at all. On principle, |
---|
25 | almost all of our machines are big and bulky, they can be opened |
---|
26 | and one can watch the machine do computational steps. From our |
---|
27 | best knowledge, we are the only living computer museum covering |
---|
28 | this early period of rising electric computing. |

33 | <h2>Didactics and labs</h2> |
---|
34 | <ul> |
---|
35 | <li>Naturally, our museum attracks "veterans" who worked with |
---|
36 | these machines in the past. We recognize the knowledge and |
---|
37 | work together to restore the machines. |
---|
38 | <li>Our most pleasant target group are young kids, school classes |
---|
39 | and students. |
---|
40 | We organize workshops to build and program both old and new |
---|
41 | technology. |
---|
42 | <li>On a regular level, we carry out guided tours for everybody. |
---|
43 | We attract people throughout Germany and neighbouring contries. |
---|
44 | <!--However, our tours are only held in German.--> |
---|
45 | <li>We also host cultural events in the scope of broadcasting |
---|
46 | our message. We frequently invite speakers from science and |
---|
47 | industry in order to highlight the development and importance |
---|
48 | of computer history. |
